About Belize City
Belize City is a harbour town on the Caribbean, the country's largest city and the usual starting point for the cayes, the reef and Maya sites.
Belize City sits low on the Caribbean coast at the mouth of Haulover Creek, which divides the town in two, and an old swing bridge over the creek is its best-known landmark. It was the capital until the government moved inland to Belmopan in 1970 after a devastating hurricane, but it remains the biggest city and the main port. Wooden colonial houses stand beside newer buildings, and the Museum of Belize occupies a former prison.
Top-ranked sights in Belize City: Xunantunich, Altun Ha, Lamanai.
